A diabetic clinic looking after 21 patients in a single-handed practice of 2,000 is described. It appeared that systematic care of these diabetics led to earlier detection and treatment of complications, and may have prevented or postponed serious disability. In the long term, a clinic such as this may help reduce practice work-load. Many clinic duties were carried out by a nurse, so that the clinic took up little doctor time. It is concluded that running a diabetic clinic is within the scope of general practice, provided the necessary support is given.
本文描述了一家在2000人的单人诊所中照顾21名患者的糖尿病诊所。事实证明,对这些糖尿病患者进行系统护理可更早发现并治疗并发症,可能预防或延缓严重残疾的发生。从长远来看,这样的诊所可能有助于减轻诊所的工作量。许多诊所工作由一名护士承担,因此该诊所占用医生的时间很少。得出的结论是,只要给予必要的支持,开办一家糖尿病诊所属于全科医疗的范畴。
